famous disclaimer: I do not own pjo/hoo, all rights to rick riordan.

Oh no. Not him again.

"Um, hi, Reyna." Leo said, looking at his feet.

"Hello, Valdez." I responded.

"So, um, I was kind of wondering if you... ya know, wanted to go.. to a movie with me on Saturday?" He asked.

I felt myself blush furiously, and I tried my best to suppress a grin. Was he asking me out? "Oh, um.." My voice cracked. It never does that. "I- I'd love to."

"Great." He was blushing furiously, too. We were both grinning now. "Um..."

"Uh, do you... want to go to the coffee shop in around... 10 minutes?" I asked him.

"Uh, yeah, sure. I'll meet you by the-the fountain?"

"Yeah, that s-sounds great."

We both turned away to go get ready. To be honest, it was my first date, and I was really nervous. If you thought about it, he was cute in his own way...

"Hey Reyna." Annabeth said, suddenly noticing my blush and huge grin. Not to mention the fact that I was playing with my hair. (A/N: after the war, the demigods just sorta settled in New Rome for a bit.) "What's up?"

"Um, I-I..." I couldn't tell her I was going on a date with Valdez. "N-nothing?"

"Oh, yes, something is. I know that look. Who?" she asked excitedly. That wasn't like her.

"Leo." I semi-whispered.

"Leo?" she asked. "Okay, then. Well, call him and tell him you're going to be a bit late because me and Piper-" Just, then, Reyna's phone rang. Leo and the Vulcan/Hephaestus kids invented a monster-proof cell phone for demigods. It was Leo.

"Hey!" He yelled. I could hear the distinct voices of his rather excited friends in the background. "I'm going to have to postpone for about an hour, my friends-"

"They want to 'prepare' you? Yeah, mine too." I laughed.

"Yeah." He laughed, too. "Well, cya then." He hung up.

"Ok, I told Annabeth. "Let's go."

She took my hand and we bolted off, her dragging my behind her, to get Piper, Hazel, and Gwen.

After about 45 minutes of eyebrow plucking, applying and re-applying make-up about a hundred times, outfit picking, and having to remind them that we're only going for coffee, I was ready.

"Wow."

"You look great."

"Fabulous."

"You're really pretty!"

"Thanks." I said. It was casual, but it was cute casual. Not too tight jeans, an altered-by-Piper Camp Jupiter no too crop top, and some light eye makeup. I really liked it. It was going to take us about 15 minutes to get down there, so we left immediately.

The boys got there around the same time we did. Leo, of course, Jason, Percy, Frank, and Dakota. We had to cure Dakota's Kool-Aid obsession before the war, and he was a pretty cool guy, actually.

We both gave our friends the 'Okay bye now' look, and they gladly took the hint. We walked into the coffee shop, hitting it off immediately.

Do you ship Leyna now? Yes you do. Ok, I might do Tratie later. But i'll get to it this week, okay?
